Music & Movement
Music and movement are natural partners. Get your students up and moving easily with excellent music. Many songs lend themselves to naturally become TPR activities. Simply act out the lyrics and you will easily enhance student comprehension and language retention.
5
Comfort and Culture
You’ll be creating a safe environment with the routines and rhythms offered in the Calico Spanish music collection. You’ll also be introducing authentic Spanish sounds and culture. The low-stress environment created with Calico Spanish music leads to learning opportunities.
3
Literacy through Lyrics
Developing Spanish literacy happens naturally when you provide students lyrics to view as they listen to the songs you sing. You’ll find student-friendly lyric pages in this activity pack.
4
Repetition that’s not redundant
Learning a language requires high levels of repetition. But repetition can be interesting, especially when that repetition comes through music. In music, there are many opportunities for repetition. Sing the same song in multiple formats (video, audio, with and without lyrics, with and without motions, etc.). Additionally, within a given song, there may be repetition in the melody, sentence structure, chorus, etc. Use music to make repetition fun, and you’ll find students gain language skills with greater ease.
Top 5 Reasons
to use Calico Spanish songs in your class

Many teachers use this song at the start of every class session. This creates a predictable routine to help students transition into Spanish learning mode.

Melody: Traditional German Folk Song Lyrics: Erica Fischer and Melinda Acuña Sánchez
Mi tío tiene una granja
Mi tío tiene una granja, una granja, ¡Sí señor!
Me invitó a conocer los animales.
La vaca hace, “Mu, mu, mu. Mu,
mu, mu. Mu, mu, mu.”
La vaca hace, “Mu, mu, mu. Mu, mu, mu.”
El cerdo hace, “Oin, oin, oin. Oin,
oin, oin. Oin, oin, oin.”
El cerdo hace, “Oin, oin, oin. Oin, oin, oin.”
El perro hace, “Guau, guau, guau.
Guau, guau, guau. Guau, guau, guau.”
El perro hace, “Guau, guau,
guau. Guau, guau, guau.”
El gallo hace, “Qui-qui-ri-quí,
quiquiriquí, quiquiriquí.”
El gallo hace, “Quiquiriquí, quiquiriquí.”
El pato hace, “Cua, cua, cua.
Cua, cua, cua. Cua, cua, cua.”
El pato hace, “Cua, cua, cua. Cua, cua, cua.”
Mi tío tiene una granja, una granja, ¡Sí señor!
Me invitó a conocer los animales.
El burro hace, “Íja, íja...”
El gato hace, “Miau, miau...”
El pollito hace, “Pío, pío...”
El caballo hace, “Ni, ni...”
La oveja hace, “Be, be...”
Mi tío tiene una granja, una granja, ¡Sí señor!
Me invitó a conocer los animales.
